The history of deep time on our planet is delineated by Earth's stratigraphic layers. The task of identifying, analyzing, and dating the transformation processes at work within the Earth's systems falls within the remit of the geological sciences. However, the transition from the Holocene to the Anthropocene is turning geology into a social science. Microscopic physical, chemical, and biological traces in the sediments are glaring indicators pointing to the acceleration and globalization of economic growth and ecological devastation that hase taken place in the last decades. This book examines ways in which the archives of the Anthropocene can be made legible. Scientists, researchers, and artists grapple with concrete stratigraphic materials in an exploration of the opportunities and challenges involved in planetary knowledge production.
